Plinth LED Lighting for Low Level Kitchen Units

[greggp]

Does anyone know of any good websites where I can find low level plinth lighting for kitchen units. I want to try and install them in my kitchen. I think you can get these from B&Q etc but wondered if I could pick them up on the web cheaper.

Cheers

Be careful of what you get,some of the cheaper one have very poor life LEDs.

There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell
a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.

I have seen Small LED lighting for Decking in B&Q and Homebase but not for low level kitchen. would there be any reason why I couldnt use the decking lights for low level style kitchen lighting.

I think the lamps may be slightly broader but thats all .If you like them use them.

No reason whatsoever - they're probably better suited than the ones sold for plinths as they're probably more robust.

You won't forget to apply for Building Regulations approval first, will you.....

Do I need to apply for Building Regulations then??

It's notifiable.....

Some have the transformer and plug combined if you've got a low level socket spare

The lighting is still fixed equipment though...

Sorry dont have part p in scotland so would that make a oven that plugged in a fixed piece of equipment?

If it's a built-in one, yes.
